Abstract:

This paper described concepts, classification, functions of water-level-fluctuation zone and reviewed recent at home and abroad studies on the water-level-fluctuation zone, including the environmental problems brought about by human activities, land exploitation patterns and protection measures, vegetation restoration and reconstruction in the water-level-fluctuation zone. We pointed out the existing problems and deficiencies in the research. On the basis of the review, we proposed further researches on governance of water-level-fluctuation zone, and pointed out the methods and focuses in studying the level-fluctuating zone, which would have important theoretical significance for further researching ecological management of the water-land intersection areas.

Key words: water-level-fluctuation zone, riparian zone, land exploitation and use, vegetation restoration and reconstruction
